This project focused on the development of a minimal living prototype for South East asian climate. Under the lemma of human needs, not only the basic needs were covered, but spaces for specific uses and connection with nature were also considered in the frame of sustainable architecture using local materials and construction techniques - electricity would be obtained through solar panels, and the rainwater would be collected and reused.

Furthermore, the minimal living prototype was adapted to a specific site in Bangkok, following the same project principles, taking into account the particular needs of three Thai and three European people. The design was made in Vienna with the help from thai students who provided the site analysis and the interviews.
